Hanks, who along with his wife Rita Wilson, tested positive for Covid-19, was wished a swift recovery by the Portuguese midfield maestro.
In the movie, Hanks' character winds up stuck on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes, with just his personified volleyball "friend" Wilson for company as he battles for survival.
Everton's No21 captioned the video: "I don't know about you, but lately I've been feeling like Tom Hanks in the Cast Away movie.
"@tomhanks, wish you and your wife a great recovery! I'm with you".
And Gomes, speaking to his own "Wilson", recreated one of the movies' scenes - but with a personal twist.
The 26-year-old conversed with himself: "Oh, I don't even know which day is today.
"It's been a while at home.. lack of food.. it's hard eh?
"What? I don't know.. maybe a few more weeks.
"Imagine for me.. I was out of football for four months.. without touching the ball.. and now that I'm back I have to sit at home.. it's bad, really bad.
"What can we do?"
